| Abstract: | Technological processes and experimental research involving the detonation of explosives must ensure the containment of the detonation products, the safety of personnel, and the protection of equipment. Frequently the test conditions impose rigid requirements on the size and weight of the vessels designed to localize the effect of pulsed loads of various kinds. Pressure vessels for operation under static loads, where the controlling parameter is the pressure, are commonly of multilayer construction. As a consequence of the stopping of cracks in the separate layers 1, 2] this construction can increase the level of the working pressure and avert the catastrophic rupture of the whole structure. It is of interest to investigate the behavior of multilayer shells under pulsed loads of various duration.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 5, pp. 152–58, September–October, 1978. |
